Samford's Hillary Fountain was named the Southern Conference volleyball player of the week on Monday, the second straight award-winner for the Bulldogs - in their first two weeks as members of the league.

Ashley Adams, who transferred to Samford from Middle Tennessee to attend Cumberland School of Law, earned the award last week.

Fountain, a sophomore setter from Holland, Ohio, was named the most valuable player in the University of Missouri at Kansas City Kangaroo Klassic. The Bulldogs finished first in the tournament and are 6-1 on the season, their best start ever.
